Going on your first date? We've got you covered!
What to wear? What will we talk about? Don’t stress yourself on a first date! Be well prepared and follow these simple steps. Remember to be yourself and let the rest flow naturally.
1. Dress accordingly: Don’t wear your favourite pair of heels if you’re going to the park for a picnic.

8. Be curious: Learn about the others goals, dreams, ambitions etc.
